The data protection vendor is rolling out new partner resources and paying “obsessive” attention to partner satisfaction as well in connection with a renewed focus on attracting and retaining MSPs, according to Chief Revenue Officer Jeff Cummings (pictured).

Those and other updates were part of a Q4 launch wave that includes zero-touch provisioning capabilities, a new risk scoring application (pictured), two new unified threat management platforms with built-in Power-over-Ethernet, and more.

The new groups will help MSPs prepare to buy or sell a business and advise traditional hardware and software resellers on how to add as-a-service offerings to their product lineup, according to Arlin Sorensen (pictured), who is leading the initiative.

Described by Chief Product Officer Craig Fulton (pictured) during the managed services vendor’s IT Nation Connect conference in Orlando last week, the new features are designed to help MSPs improve brand recognition and technician productivity.

Available in both free and advanced editions, the new functionality automatically searches for advanced persistent threats, keyloggers, malicious registry changes, and other intrusions that have gained a foothold on monitored end points.

Acronis, Dropsuite, Passportal, Proofpoint, and lesser-known Israeli anti-phishing vendor IRONSCALES join Pax8’s catalog in connection with an ongoing effort to give partners more options to recommend and cross-sell within key product categories.

According to CEO Arnie Bellini (pictured), core elements of the initiative include the launch of an open source security integration standard and the introduction of new cybersecurity solutions, some of which will compete with products from ConnectWise partners.

Unlike a lead generation program, Kaseya’s newly launched “Done Deal” program distributes fully-signed Unitrends MSP subscribers located, qualified, and closed by its own sales team. Participating MSPs keep 100 percent of the revenue.

Version 7.8 of the consolidated BDR, storage, and security offering also includes functionality for orchestrating and automating cloud-based disaster recovery processes, according to Americas Vice President and General Manager Patrick Hurley (pictured).

Formerly available as a stand-alone product or add-on to any edition of Beachhead’s PC encryption and access management solution, SimplySecure USB is now exclusively available as a free, standard feature of SimplySecure PC Premium.
